ROT PUBLIC SCHOOLS
BASIS OP OBJECTION TO PAYIXG
TAX 3IOSTEY TO KINDERGARTENS.
Director Thompson's Reasons for
Opposing the Payment Aslcetl by
the Portland School Board.
In explaining nis attitude toward the
question of applying public money to the
support of kindergartens, Director Thomp
sdn ye&ferday said his contention was
that this school district had no legal right
to turn public money aver to any private
body to be disbursed as that private body
-may see fit. The action proposed by the
Portland School Board -when it asks Clerk
Allen to pay over to the Free Kindergar
ten Association the money collected from
-the-special levy authorized for the pur
pose of supporting free kindergartens in
this city is, according to Director Thomp
son's view, a violation of law In several
particulars. He maintains that kinder
gartens may legally receive the benefit
of public money only when they become
""part of the common school system."
They are not a part of the common school
system -when they are conducted by a pri
vate association in no wise responsible to
or .under the direction of the public school
authorities. The teachers employed in the
kindergartens are not, so "far as the school
authorities are informed, qualified to re
ceive public money, and payment of
school money to them -would subject offi
cials responsible for the act, or the dis
trict, to losses and penalties. The point
of Mr. Thompson's objection, however, is
that there is no warrant of law for pay
ing public school money to the Kinder
garten Association, a legally irresponsi
ble body, no matter how high the per
sonal character of its members may be.
The section of the statute touching the
kindergarten question is as follows:
The district board of any school district in
the State of the first or second class may,
when authorized thereto by the qualified elec
tor; of such district, provide for the estab
lishment and maintenance therein, as part ot
the common school system thereof, of schools
commonly known as kindergartens, and such
schools shall be free to children over 4 years
of age.
(Districts of the first class are those
liavlng more than 1000 school children of
school age. and those of the second class
are those having between 200 and 1000
children of school age.)
air. Thompson thinks 3t very clear that
the kindergartens must be entirely under
the control of the public school authorities
before a dollar of public school money
can legally be diverted to their support.
They must be under the supervision of
the city superintendent, and they must
be taught by persons' legally competent
to receive- school money, that is, by per
sons -who shall have passed examination
and received certificates or diplomas ac
cording to the state law. Moreover, this
money must be paid them just as money
Is paid other teachers, by the associa
tion. While this is the ground taken by Mr.
Thompson in the present Instance, he
Is free to say that he sees great ob
jection to engrafting the kindergartens
upon the public school system. It would
amount, he says, to adding another
srade to the schools, and a grade that
would make necessary the establishment
of kindergarten facilities in every part
of the city that now has a public school
of any grade. This, he estimates, would
cost the district something like $30,000,
a sum which, according to his view, Is
entirely too large to ask the taxpayers
to pay for that purpose; at any rate, It
should not be authorized -without ade
quate notice of its Import, so that the
taxpayers could act intelligently at the
annual school meeting. For the meeting
last "Winter only the usual notice was
published, nothing being said in. it that
action -would be proposed toward adding
the "kindergarten to the present school
system or even that a special levy for
kindorgariens would be asked. Therefore,
Mr. Thompson thinks that even the small
3evy authorized was obtained rather un
fairly, at least without adequate notice.
He is opposed to paying this money over
to the private association on the ground
that there Is no -warrant of law for such
action, and he is also opposed on the
ground of policy to giving the kindergar
tens this foothold upon the public school
system.
Mr. Thompson says Clerk Allen will
not pay over this money without a writ
of mandamus, and he is satisfied such a
-writ cannot be obtained. The resolution
of the board is so carefully worded that
it amounts to a request for the clerk to
pay the money and is not a clear direc
tion or instruction for him to do 'so.
Whether the action taken by the tax
payersleaves the way open to the school
Tjoard to provide for the establishment
and maintenance of kindergartens as
part of the common school system may
oiow be -open to question. And whether
thrj school board shall care to do this,
even if It be legal, is another matter.
EAGER FOR KINDERGARTEN.
Tots' "Want to Resume Games and
IeKsoxiN Good Training.
Several hundred kindergarten children
are eagerly awaiting the day when school
shall reopen, and their merry games and
lessons in the line art of living shall be
gin. These chubby-faced little 5-year-olds
do not trouble themselves about the
learned technicalities of the law that are
just now racking the wits of their teach
ers and all good friends of the free kin
dergarten movement. Their baby thoughts
run industriously to the weaving of pink
paper mats, and to outline pictures of
tabby cats, sewed with a big needle and
blue worsted, to bright songs that teach
them the small courtesies as well as the
great truths of life. They are all on tip
toe -with expectation, and can hardly wait
for the happy days to arrive.
Last year, when school closed, there
were , between 300 and 400 kindergarten
children, and enthusiasm ran so high that
it Is believed the number will be greatly
increased this year. . "It is a mistake
to suppose that the mothers send their
children only because they know them
to be in a safe place, and are glad to be
relieved of the burden of caring for them
during three hours of the day," said Miss
Valentine Pritchard, superintendent of the
public-school kindergartens. "On the con
trary, those mothers who do not belong
to the leisured class .send their children
because they recognize the fact that the
time they Jiave before them for education
is only too short, and it Is quite likely to
be cut off abruptly after a few scant
years of school life, in order that the child
may become a breadwinner. The mother,
therefore, sees that it is of tht greatest
Importance to extend the years of her
child's education at one end, if she can
not at the other end. Her child, she feels,
is not only happy in the kindergarten,
but, what is far more Important, is be
coming fitted for the stress and duties ot
life.
"In a city the size of Portland there
ought to be 25 or 30 free 'kindergartens.
Instead of six, if this city is to take rank
educationally with other progressive
American cities. This is specially true
when it is remembered how near the front
among them Portland stands as to wealth
per capita."
A South Portland mother, who is an
enthusiastic believer in the kindergarten
movement, said: "I have seen some won-
derful results come in child-development
from kindergarten work. Last year there
was a little 3-year-old, who entei'ed the
kindergarten at Christmas time. He had
been brought up in a family of half
grown brothers and sisters, who had no
tact nor wisdom In managing him, and
as he was a self-willed child of obstinate
temper, he seemed a hopeless case to
work with. At home he screamed from
morning to jiight, and whenever "he was
asked to do anything, he would throw
himself on the lloor In a passion, and
kick. When school closed In the Spring,
after less than six months of kindergar
ten experience, he was completely
changed, as gentle, happy and obedient
a child as one would wish to see. This
Is only one out of a hundred cases that
I have encountered in my experience here
in Portland.
"I attended the picnic given last Spring
by the kindergarten that my little girl be
longed to. There were 42 children, and
they were out in the fields the whole day,
from 9 A M. to 5 P. M. During all that
time which was a long one for 4 and 5
yearToIds there was not an unpleasant
disturbance of any kind; not a whine,
not a voice raised too loud, not a com
plaint made by one child against an
other. I consider this an extraordinary
proof of the spirit of goodwill, happiness
and obedience infused into kindergarten
work. ,
"Some people say that the kindergarten
brings together little children of too ten
der an age and compels them to duty;
whereas, the real truth Is that the
healthy, normal child from 3-months-old
up is restless and full of action every
moment except when asleep. My 7-year-old
is never still. Now, what is to be
done with all this activity? Let It take
care of Itself in the backyard and on the
street corners?
"The kindergarten answers every need
of child activity, the play life, yet at
the same time promotes the systematic
growth of all the faculties. Four years
old, the kindergarten age, is not too early
to train the child-activities, for, if the
teacher does not take these In hand, the
child will attend to the matter himself.
"Xo mother, however great her inclina
tion and ability, can give her child a
training that can compare with that of

state fair this Fall ever seen on the Coast.
the free kindergarten. I, as a mother,
have studied this problem diligently for
seven years, and I know whereof I speak.
The reason for this Is that in the home
she has not the material to work with.
The mother in the household leads an
adult life, with adult things about her.
This is not the right environment for the
child, who, on account of his untiring
energy, needs much more care than she
can possibly furnish him.
"The strongest principle in child-life is
this constant craving for something to
do. The liealthy child Is never happy
unless it Is busy. The kindergarten rec
ognizes this fact, and is, therefore, the
soil and climate best suited to the growth
of this human plant. No matter what
good rose-shoots you may have, they will
come to naught unless placed In a suita
ble environment.
"The trouble lies partly In the fact that
we have not trained mothers, as we have
trained klndergartners. But even when
motherhood shall become a profession, we
shall not be able to get on without the
kindergartens. One child at home can be
trained to be sweet and lovely in charac
ter, but if he Is always at home alone,
how will he ever learn to live with peo
ple? It will be too late when he enters
the public schools, for at 7 years old the
habits are already formed. In the kin
dergarten he finds just what he needs,
for there life itself is co-operation.
"What seems to me an incontrovertible
proof that a kindergarten idea is the true
one, is that there is not on record such
a thing as an unpopular kindergarten.
Whether planted in the croarsest soil or in
the most highly cultivated, only gratifi
cation comes from it. It apparently fills
the universal need of childhood."

TEACHERS IN COUNCIL
MORE THAN COO ATTENDED THE
COUNTY INSTITUTE. .
One New Feature Was the Special
Physicnl Culture Department
' Addresses "by Educators.
Upwards of 500 teachers registered at
the annual County Institute yesterday.
The large assembly-room of the High
School building, Including the galleries,
was well filled with instructors, mostly of
the public schools. The room had been
tastily decorated with foliage and stream
ers, under the direction of Keorge W.
Wemple.
The programme was strong and sub
jects carefully chosen, so that interest did
not lag at any time. Each topic was as
signed a stipulated number of minutes,
which was closely adhered to. One proof
of Interest to the casual observer was the
extended U9e of the note book.
There seems to be a growing "tendency
among school men to omit the prefix
"Professor," which word was heard very
little at yesterday's sessions. ,
The special feature of the day was
music under the leadership of Mr. I. D.
Boyer, with Miss Carrie Ladd at the
- OaOCa09fr0
piano. Each session was opened with
chorus singing the large attendance se
curing a correspondingly full chorus. In
the afternoon Mrs. Will Bushong favored
the teachers with a soprano solo from
Vannah, "When You Are Here, Love,"
and for encore gave Hugenot's "Page
Song." R. Gordon sang Petrle's- "At the
Bottom of the Deep Blue Sea," repeating
it for a merited encore.
The new feature was the introduction
of a special physical culture department.
This department holds Its sessions before
the regular programme begins, and is
under the supervision of Mr. Krohn,
physical director of Portland schools. The
class was unexpectedly full yesterday,
and greater attendance is expected today.,
This work is required by law and will be
systematized by outlines from the office
of County Superintendent the coming
Winter. These outlines are partially com
pleted at this time and are arranged by
Mr. Krohn in much the same manner as
those given in the Portland schools.
In his opening remarks yesterday Coun
ty Superintendent R. F. Robinson took
occasion to say he believed the large at.
tendance was due to pedagogical interest,
rather than an attempt to satisfy the re
quirements of the new apportionment
law.
Principal Burnham, of the Couch school,
opened the " Instructive part of the pro
gramme with a talk on German, the cen
tral thought of which was, the sentence.
The details were given some attention

Is at home In this subject, and disposed
of It and the questions asked of him in
his characteristic manner.
Miss Knox, drawing supervisor of Port
land schools, followed with a paper on
"Our New Drawing Books." Miss Knox

upon the board some point or helpful sug

and pen work in the schools, and was

pleased to note the newly adopted series
encouraged the same thing. Certain
forms of work In substitution for those
of the book were recommended as being
better fitted to develop Ideas of illustrat
ing form.
President Campbell, of Monmouth State
Normal School, opened the subject of
supplemental reading and the problem of
securing it in sufficient quantity and qual
ity. He thought the wealth and abun
dance of supplemental reading recently
adopted for use In this state were largely
due to the critical acquaintance with lit
erature of one member of the Text-Book
Commission, H. W. Scott, to whom he
paid high tribute.
He said: "Much interesting and ele
vating reading for children Is necessary
to develop the imagination, the extent of
which development Is one standard of
measuring the Nation's civilization." He
thought children were today inclined to
read too much, but without sufficient care
as to what kind of literature usually
reading that which came handiest. He
emphasized the point that children should
be allowed to read that which their
tastes chose, provided it be of an elevating
kind, and from their actual stations led
to the stations they should occupy. They
cannot be forced to like good literature,
but may be so led that they will learn
to enjoy it. Teachers were advised to
become magazine readers in addition to
their professional literature. Some books
and methods of reading were suggested.
Superintendent Rigler, of the Portland
schools, gave the first of a series of talks
on "Primary Numbers." The psychologi
cal nature of number was explained, and
the fundamental modes of counting de
tailed and illustrated. Some cautions for
using these modes were suggested. The
Speer method was mentioned as embody
ing the ultimate concept of number a
concept too far removed from the initial

The afternoon session was opened by
Principal Burnham with the subject of
"Climate." The greater part of the time
was devoted to the seasons and the man
ner of teaching the same. The energy of
the sun was shown by illustration and its
wonderful extent pointed out.
Miss Knox continued the subject of
drawing, taking "Light and Shade" as the
particular topic. Drawing paper had
been distributed upon which those In at
tendance sketched and preserved v some
valuable suggestions placed upon the
board. Flat and cylindrical and group
shading were specialized.
President W. C. Hawley, of Willamette
University, closed the day with a lecture
upon "The Powers of the President, as
Defined in the Constitution, and Illus
trated by Our History." He pointed out
the safeguards mentioned in the Constitu
tion which protected the President from
becoming a tool of Congress and polit
ical machines, and also those which pre
vented him from overriding the liberties
of the people and -Congress. He traced
briefly the history of attempts largely
to Increase the Presidential Influence and
the attempts to rob him of bis. just pow
ers, between which extremes the conflict
in this country had waged, and resulted
In a happy mean.

.PASTY FOOD.
Too Commonly Used.
The use of pasty cereals Is not advisable.
A physician says, "Pasty cereals are very
indigestible and a bad -thing for the stom
ach, causing a depressed feeling and quite
a train of disorders, particularly of the
intestines and nerves.
"Cereals, such as wheat and oats, can
be cooked long enough and well enough
to fit them for human use, but the ordin
ary way of cooking leaves them In a
pasty condition."
A gentleman from Evansvllle, Ind.,
whose name can be secured upon applica
tion to the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Bat
tle Creek, Mich., says: "My physician
prohibited the use of oat$ and wheat, for
I was. in a bad condition physically, with
pronounced dyspepsia. He said the heavy
paste was indigestible, but that Grape
Nuts, being a thoroughly cooked food and
cooked in such a manner as to change
the starch into grape-sugar, could be
easily digested. I have become very fond
Indeed of Grape-Nuts, and all the uncom
